A/HRC/26/33
91.
In order to ensure satisfactory monitoring of State compliance with the
Kampala Convention, the African Union should consider establishing the Conference
of States Parties, in accordance with article 14 of the Convention.
92.
Civil society organizations and other relevant actors should continue their work
of awareness-raising and dissemination of the Kampala Convention, and their work to
promote the ratification of the instrument across Africa, including through training
activities.
93.
Relevant actors should increase international support in order to strengthen
local and national capacities and legal frameworks and policies to address
displacement by means of specific programmes, including the transfer of know-how,
secondment of expert staff and provision of technical support. In particular, all
relevant actors should consider the opportunity of adopting a subregional approach
(for example, with the Economic Community of West African States, whose approach
is quite specific), as well as the importance of cooperating with United Nations
agencies in relation to their respective expertise. At the same time, the capacity of the
African Union and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region should be
strengthened to provide technical support to countries seeking to establish
mechanisms for the protection of internally displaced persons that respond to
country-specific issues and contexts.
94.
Development actors should be involved in and support the drafting of national
policies on internal displacement, and build capacity in terms of knowledge, human
resources and infrastructure.
95.
The international community, humanitarian agencies, donors, development
actors and civil society organizations should enhance the capacity of internally
displaced persons to advocate for their rights, and ensure that alleged perpetrators
are brought to justice.
96.
Development actors should implement projects that specifically protect the
human rights of internally displaced persons. Such projects should address in
particular the availability and accessibility of basic services, the restoration of
livelihoods, and housing and the protection of land and property rights, in full
consultation with displaced persons, and affected communities where relevant.
97.
All relevant stakeholders should monitor, support and build capacity to
address climate change-related internal displacement, including displacement due to
both sudden and slow-onset natural hazards. In this regard, relevant international
and national actors should, inter alia, increase awareness and understanding of
displacement caused by slow-onset natural disasters; develop concrete strategies and
measures to follow up on relevant provisions of the Cancun Agreement; and promote
a human rights-based approach in all actions and strategies to address displacement
related to natural disasters and climate change. Relevant actors should support
Member States in developing adaptation measures that are comprehensive and
include disaster risk reduction and prevention, and the minimization of internal
displacement, as well as durable solutions. Relevant actors should also promote
mechanisms for the engagement of affected communities, and develop guidance for
States on how to ensure that displacement is taken into account in the climate change
debate, on available normative standards and on the human rights implications of
that type of displacement.
98.
All relevant stakeholders should continue to identify and address the various
causes of internal displacement, emerging issues and areas that need to be
strengthened through improved understanding, methodologies, approaches and
responses. Such areas include, inter alia, the impact of global megatrends on internal
